Happy Meals
In a New York City suburb, a grand experiment in farming yields food that is grown locally on a small scale and free of toxins. The well-heeled diners flocking to the farm's gourmet restaurant and the carefree children attending its camps may well be getting a taste of the future.
With a color palette reflecting the natural outdoor surroundings--wheat-colored walls and natural accents of wood, stone, and green plant life, from mosses to exotic orchids--the 88-seat dining room is packed each night (except Mondays and Tuesdays, when the restaurant is closed) with well-heeled patrons, sometimes including the Clintons or Martha Stewart, who live nearby. Scoring a dinner reservation requires calling two months in advance. And the food is not cheap; dinner for two ranges from $130 to $200, without drinks, which is the root of a common misconception about Stone Barns--that it's only "for rich people," as one local farmer recently told me. But a small cafe provides a selection of panini sandwiches, salads, and seasonal soups made from the same farm-fresh ingredients. The average price of $10 makes the cafe a much less expensive option for those on a tighter budget--or in need of an afternoon snack. And the center's classes, which range from free to about $25, cover everything from composting and growing perfect tomatoes to crop rotation and inoculating logs with shiitake mushroom spores.
These days buying local produce in the suburbs is a tall order. Westchester County, for example, is what those in farming circles often refer to as a "food desert," owing to the lack of agriculture. Yet, like many other counties ringing America's oldest municipalities, this affluent area once nourished its mother city. In fact, in the early 1920s, when John D. Rockefeller Jr. took over Pocantico and commissioned the renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury to design a complex of stone farm buildings reminiscent of the French countryside, the county contained more than 1,500 farms. Within the next decade the number dropped to 428, and it stands at 125 today, including Stone Barns. "Rapidly many of the farms were being taken over for residential purposes and for other commercial purposes," recalls David, now the 91-year-old family patriarch.
Grandfatherly and gregarious in a checked jacket, Rockefeller sits down with me for a rare interview one rainy morning near the entryway of the restaurant--formerly the cow barn. A good sense of humor and his grasp of science, farming, and economics remain firm. His eyes sparkle as he reminisces about the woman who stole his heart, and savors his boyhood memories of the farm. "When I was a child these buildings were much simpler wooden structures where the milking cows were kept," he says. "I would come to watch, and take a drink of the nice warm milk out of the lid of a can."
In time hand milking was replaced by machines, and the farm gained a new farmer: David's wife, Peggy, who raised Simmental beef cattle on this property in the mid-1970s. She was also one of the founders of the American Farmland Trust. But since her death in 1996, Peggy Rockefeller is perhaps most often remembered here at Stone Barns for her skill and vigor behind the steering wheel of a combine. "My daughter, Peggy Dulany, and I decided the best way to celebrate Peggy's life and passion was to create a center where the threats to farmland and our food supply could be discussed, and ways to improve farming methods and agricultural policy could be explored," says Rockefeller.
The American Farmland Trust estimates 1.2 million acres of cropland, pastureland, and rangeland are lost each year to development. Farms are increasingly being swallowed up by new houses, roads, and strip malls--86 percent of U.S. fruits and vegetables and 63 percent of dairy products currently come from areas in the path of urban sprawl. This loss of farmland combined with the shift during the past century toward industrialized agriculture has greatly extended the distance produce and meats travel. The average American meal today journeys more than 1,500 miles from where it's grown or raised to where it's bought--at a big cost. Green-house gases emitted during food transport contribute to climate change. Our produce is not as fresh as it would be if it were grown closer, which would improve its taste and, health experts say, possibly its nutritional value. And because our food is so heavily mass-produced and transported, the origins of outbreaks of E. coli, like those from last year's much-reported batch of tainted spinach, cannot always be pinpointed in time to prevent human illness, sometimes even death.
Meanwhile, the majority of U.S. farmland still intact represents mostly large-scale, conventional agriculture favored by government; more than 90 percent of all subsidies are paid to the growers of just five crops: wheat, cotton, corn, soybeans, and rice. Studies show such monocultures invite pests and deplete the soil, requiring more insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers that pollute rivers, lakes, and streams and cause declines in biodiversity. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that each year approximately 672 million birds are directly exposed to pesticides on farmlands in the United States, and that about 10 percent--67 million birds--die on the spot.
By contrast, produce grown at Stone Barns is free of chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides--and then some. The only soil improvements are compost made from humus-rich manure, minerals, and organic material. Crops are grown year-round, even in winter, using minimal heat in addition to what the sun provides, and intensively rotated to preserve the soil and lock in nutrients. Even in January and February up to 35 different types of hardy winter crops, including little-known varieties like claytonia (a succulent, small-leaved green rich in vitamin C) and skirret (a delicate, aromatic white root vegetable) are growing in the greenhouse.

The FACT of the matter is, it CAN NOT be PROVED. You are referencing one book. Heck! You could reference several books. Someone else might post links to books that states the exact opposite.

CD/LP/Track Review
Rich Halley 4: Crossing the Passes (2013)
Vlatkovich is back in the fold once more for the Rich Halley 4's Crossing the Passes, a thematically-based collection of eleven tunes celebrating Halley's trek across the Wallowa Mountains in northeastern Oregon with his son Carson Halleywho sits in the quartet's drum chairand his nephew Tim Binford in the summer of 2012.
Halley's music continues to evolve. The raging near-chaos of Coyotes in the City has eased into tunes that sound quite composed (though certainly improvisation plays a huge part, especially when Halley slips into a roaring solo on "Rain, Wind and Hail," followed by Vlatkovich with his thoughtful, contained, even ruminative turn on the trombone on the same song. Then the horns converse-two very passionate voices each having a say, talking over each other, blowing towards a storm force wind. Then there's bassist Clyde Reed's fast walk early on in the opening cut, "The Only Constant." Reed seems to fit into the niche of holding the sound together for a time, before shifting the momentum, prodding some of the horns' freer flights.
Drummer Carson Halley, the youngster of the group, is a responsive percussionist, following tenor saxophonist Halley's wandering, brooding melody on the title tune with a panoply of rattles and rolls, laying down a rock steady beat on "Basin and Range," and shifting into a low thunder rumble behind Vlatkovich's solo, proving himself throughout to be a catalyst and instigator in the evolving artistry of the Rich Halley 4 in the continuing series of excellent free jazz outing.
Track Listing: The Only Constant; Traversing the Maze; Looking West From West; Smooth Curve of the Bow; The Spring Rains; Duopoly; Crossing the Passes; Basin and Range; Acute Angles; Rain, Wind and Hail; Journey Across the Land.
Personnel: Rich Halley: tenor saxophone; Michael Vlatkovich: trombone; Clyde Reed: bass; Carson Halley: drums, percussion.
Record Label: Pine Eagle Records
Style: Free Improv/Avant-Garde

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray announced the first round of awards today for the H Street NE Retail Priority Grant Program. The grants are meant to stimulate small-business development and expansion while also creating new job opportunities for District residents along the booming H Street NE retail-and-entertainment strip.
"I congratulate all of today's awardees," said Mayor Gray. "These entrepreneurs play an important part in the continued revitalization of our H Street corridor. The awards will allow these small-business owners to expand their operations, diversify their product lines and create new job opportunities in the process – benefitting both the immediate neighborhood and the entire city."
Today's awardees include:

Summary of To Have and Have Another Summary of To Have and Have Another Reviews for To Have and Have Another An Excerpt from To Have and Have Another
In To Have and Have Another, Ernest Hemingway enthusiast and cocktail connoisseur Philip Greene delves deeper into the author's drinking habits than ever before, offering dozens of authentic recipes for drinks directly connected with the novels, history and folklore, and colorful anecdotes about the man himself. With this cocktail companion, you will be able to fully enjoy Hemingway's works beyond the limits of the imagination—pick up this book and taste how "cool and clean" and "civilized" Frederic Henry's martini was in A Farewell to Arms, or sip a Bloody Mary, a drink rumored to be named by Hemingway himself!
Read Philip Greene's blog on the Penguin USA blog.
[A] "fascinating literary-booze study…"
—Washington Post
"An interesting read and a must-have for Hemingway lovers and craft bartenders."
"At a time when cocktail books have become rote, To Have and Have Another by Philip Greene subverts the formula and provides recipe-by-recipe substance to Ernest Hemingway's drinking ways…. [Greene] lets the drinks lead the way but fleshes each one with meticulous detail to round out the pieces of Papa's lusty life."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Even a casual student of the novelist Ernest Hemingway knows the man liked to drink. But a quick skimming of Philip Greene's new book, To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion, reveals exactly how much the man enjoyed his cups."
—The New York Times
"[M]ight be the next best thing to drinking with Hemingway."
"Greene, the co-founder of The Museum of the American Cocktail, makes it easy to recreate some of Hemingway's most memorable literary libations, including the Dripped Absinthe from For Whom the Bell Tolls and the Jack Rose from The Sun Also Rises."
—Wine Enthusiast
"[A]n off-beat and worthy addition to the Papa bookshelf, especially for the imbibers among us."
—The Florida Book Review
"To Have and Have Another is light and engaging, a fast read that works as both a dictionary of cocktails and a reference text on Hemingway's works and personal life."

The Total Cost of an IT Education
Information technology is one of the fastest-growing industries. And with fast growth comes a greater demand for jobs. Employment of computer and information systems managers is expected to grow 16 percent between 2006 and 2016 — faster than average for all occupations — according to projections by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics' (BLS) "Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-09 Edition." Network systems analysts, data communications analysts and computer software engineers are particularly in demand.
But while a healthy industry is great, aspiring IT professionals still must develop their technical chops in order to take advantage of it. There are many ways to do this, but the most common can be lumped into several categories: full-time college, part-time college, technical classes and boot camps. Of course, a combination of some or all of these is ideal, as the Holy Grail of marketability is to have a degree, significant work experience and a few meaningful certifications.
The Full-Time Experience
The percentage of people opting for a post-secondary education has been growing gradually for the past century. It was not uncommon for someone from "The Greatest Generation" — generally billed to be those born between 1901 and 1924 — to drop out of high school to continue working on the family farm.
The emphasis on education is completely different now. The increase in college attendance rates is indicative of the country's swing away from primary reliance on agricultural and manufacturing jobs to white-collar service jobs such as IT. Today's student realizes not…

Things I liked:very nice bbs good for paper targets but they need to be fired by high end guns with high fps for best performance
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:buy good high end guns they cost a little more or in some cases allot more you always get what you pay for so buy high end and let the fun begin thank you pyramydair
Things I liked:Just got these yesterday and I have already shot 100,s. Very accurate, very uniform. Not only that on a sunny day you can really follow them in flight. Dispite the cost, these things are worth it.
Things I would have changed:I wish stores carried these but I have never seen them anywhere. That is why I bought 4000 rounds. Should last me a while.
What others should know:In my TSD 1911 co2 pistole I can hit a 12oz can at 20 yards. At close range these buggers will bury flush in 1/2" sheetrock. In my Sig spring powered (rated at 315 fps w .20's) you can shoot one in the air and follew it forever. These things are so cool.
Things I liked:I have a bit more respect for aluminum shot than I do plastic. They all seem to be uniform in shape and appearance. I could find no sign of corrosion. All were highly polished and I noticed, easy to see as I shot them
Things I would have changed:A manufacturer label would be nice. I'd like to know who made them. Apparently nobody wants to take the credit/blame for these.
What others should know:Definitely something an airsoft player will respect much more than a bunch of plastic.

IMO, Peter Guralnick's two-part biography Last Train to Memphis and Careless Love is a good place to start.
Guralnick has written extensively about American music and musicians and is highly regarded in this field.
Enjoy your reading!!!
I have plenty of elvis books offering nice glossy pictures and small anecdotes into the mans life but i have come to realise i dont really have any with slightly more substance.
I happen to see a copy of Jerry Schillings book in a store the other day which accounts his life with elvis and it got me wondering which are the best books about presley?
i would be inclined towards books by friends and family accounting for there experiences with him but then they are biased due to there nature, id appreciate any insight people have.....also a really good biography suggestion is welcome.

IMO, Peter Guralnick's two-part biography Last Train to Memphis and Careless Love is a good place to start.
Guralnick has written extensively about American music and musicians and is highly regarded in this field.
Enjoy your reading!!!
Both Peter Guralnick books are essential, but be forewarned, they are saturated with detail. They're both great, satisfying reads, but don't expect to breeze through them in a week. It's a long journey, but totally fun.
The other books I have read are Priscilla's book 'Elvis and Me', Jerry Schilling's book 'Me & a Guy Named Elvis', Ernst Jorgensen's 'A Life In Music-The Complete Recordings', and Jerry Hopkins' 'Elvis-The Biography'.
Priscilla's by far is the most easy read, and full of really good info, even though alot of it is a somewhat unfavorable portrait of Elvis. It's not mean spirited, she loved the man, but she tells her story straight-no chaser.
Schilling's book is a great portrait especially during the 60s movie years, and Elvis' time living in LA. It also includes a first-hand account of the meeting between Elvis and The Beatles.
Jerry Hopkins' book is good too. I would suggest reading it after the Guralnick books. Even though the Hopkins book has been cited by other writers including Guralnick and Schilling, it has informational flaws that any hardcore Elvis fan will spot. It's a fun book to read just for comparison to other Elvis biographies.
Ernst Jorgensen's book is also regarded as essential as it details Elvis' recoding career at length.
I agree the 2 Peter Guralnick are essential
also Elaine Dundee's Elvis and Gladys
I recommend avoiding anything with any of the Stanley's involved in it.
and take any MM written book with a huge grain of salt - they all skew things to themselves being Elvis real confidant and the only one trying to help - sometimes they leave out the ones they don't like or minimize them.
Better are the books done by researchers who interview a lot of people to get a broader view than the self interested one.
don't forget June Juanico's book Twilight of Memory, I also enjoyed
Love Me Tender Diary by Trude Forsher, the Col. secretary.
Also Rough Guide to Elvis - very good, imo!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
The book by Mark Hendriks from Belgium is the very best. The book by Becky Yancey, Elvis,s secretary. Read that years ago, liked it then.
I also enjoy Elvis, his life from A to Z.
And the Guralnick books are a must read.
You'll find the awesome FTD WRITING FOR THE KING (Ken Sharp)one of the best books because it's all about the one thing that matters most the music!
Highly recommended:
Elvis fashion by Julie Mundy short on text but simply gorgeous.
Elvis '69 fantastic (Ken Sharp)

"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
Guralnick's books are great, full of details though. I actually skipped a chapter or two. Enjoyable to read is June Juanico's Elvis in the Twilight of Memories. It's very light to read, and it's simply a story about two young lovers. Also gives an insight on Elvis' early years.
Elvis Word for Word by Jerry Osborne.
It is a VERY good book, because it is what Elvis said, exactly how he said it. Plus there are rare pictures, letters Elvis wrote, and other cool stuff.
Elvis is The King!
I'm actually 'reading' "Elvis by the Presleys". I say 'reading' in quotes because this seems more like a coffee table book than it does a legitimate biography even though the testimonials from the family have some historical merit. If you've seen the documentary of the same name or read Priscilla's book, it pretty much covers the same ground. The great thing about this book is that it contains well composed, well lit photos of Graceland and several rare Elvis artifacts. Their approach to the archival items in the book is the same as the way these items are presented in exhibits at Graceland. One thing EPE, and (I guess) Priscilla and Lisa are very good at is leaving absolutely no stone unturned when it comes to detail. I'm always amazed at the stuff that's put on display at Graceland. It shows you that-whoever it is in charge-whether it's Sillerman or the Presleys, they give the fans every possible detail when it comes to illustrating how Elvis lived. The "Elvis by the Presleys" book is a worthy buy if you come across it.
ELVIS BY THE PRESLEY'S is a fine book with interesting text and a few superb pics love the one of his 'butterfly' jumpsuit.

Video: Houston players talk about Saturday's loss
Dec 2, 2012, 9:53 AM EDT
CARSON, Calif. – The Houston Dynamo got an early start on putting yesterday's MLS Cup outcome behind them; they were scheduled for an early wake-up call and a mid-morning flight out of their hotel near the Home Depot Center and back into Texas.
But they will be thinking about it of course, about what might have been but for Calen Carr's injury and the lost momentum of a few crazy moments, where the match got away from them.

Anyone own this case? Comments? Bueller?
^ Here are some owner pics on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B001H0BA24
It's a Foxconn made case and PSU. Low quality, they won't even put their name on it instead making up the names Apex and Allied. You can get away with that on a case this size but the PSU is a bottom of the barrel problem waiting to happen.
If you like the looks of the case then I recommend replacing the SFX form factor PSU with something major brand like Seasonic or Sparkle/FSP and 80+ Bronze or better efficiency rated which is about $45.
Great - thanks dave_c

About MacY Gray
Macy Gray (born Natalie McIntyre September 6, 1967) from Canton, Ohio is a Grammy Award winning neo soul/R&B singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. To date, Macy has released five studio albums, one compilation album and a live album. She has acted in a number of movies including Training Day, Idlewild, and Lackawanna Blues, Gray is best known for her international hit single "I Try", taken from her multi-platinum debut album On How Life Is. Other hits include "Sweet Baby," "Do Something," "When I See You," and "Beauty in the World." Macy Gray was originally hesitant to record a studio album due to what is, arguably, her most recognizable feature -- her voice. She started her music career as a songwriter. Her first album was actually a mistake; she was at the studio waiting for the person who was supposed to be singing her song, and the producer wanted to hear what one of the songs was supposed to sound like. Once she started singing, the producer liked the rough sou ... Read More

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Just received our wedding invitation and it looks amazing!! the paper quality is great, design looks lovely, and printing/delivery was so fast Thank you so much!! would highly recommend!!"
"I absolutely Loved this invitation! It totally set the tone for my wedding. I ordered them with the pearl shimmer which made them look that much more beautiful! Customer service was also great! I had an error on the rsvp labels and luckily they have live chat after hours, and was able to speak with someone who helped me immediately and shipped out new envelopes the next day. I would highly recommend this company, they are wonderful!!"
"I really like the looks of this card and the paper was great. The back is design is by far the best I have seen and I like mostly for that. Though, the respondence card was not printed very well. Where it says kindly, you can hardly see the 'k' because of how it is written to go off the card."
"Thanks so much to wedding paper divas for my invites. I love the design, layout and help was flawless. I appreciate the attention to detail, online chat option and wonderful customer service. Great product and wonderful service."
"We used the same colors for this card as our wedding colors, silver grey & beige/white. The design is perfect in these tones and matched our wedding perfectly. I only had to change the text in our language and changed the fonts to our style. The quality of the paper is what I prefered, a little bit thicker and not flat. Makes it look more classy."

Making Your Video Count
April 27th, 2012 by Brian Baumley
Flipping An Assignment On Its Head For A Unique, Engaging And Impactful Production
It's easy to take production assignments literally. Even when we think we're being really creative, there is usually lots of opportunity left to take risks and consider a project from a completely different perspective.
Consider filmmaker Casey Neistat's take on an assignment from Nike. In his own words:
"Nike asked me to make a movie about what it means to #makeitcount. Instead of making their movie I spent the entire budget traveling around the world with my friend Max. We'd keep going until the money ran out. It took 10 days."
Of course, this was all communicated in a video that quite effectively tells a story about making it count.
There are close to 5 million hits on that link alone. Throw in some YouTube dupe videos, views on other video sites, a front page Reddit story, etc., and it's probably safe to say that Nike was happy with this result. Neistat could've made a really creative, glossy video that delivers big on the 'make it count' message. Nike would've probably been happy and the video would've found an audience.
In this case, the very essence of 'make it count' is at the core of the production itself. And it's inspiring. Consider too that this video was shared enough that it made its way to my PC screen. I didn't go hunting for Nike info. And I'm not terribly interested in sports. Yet it found me.
So how can you make your next video production count?
- Think hard about the message your video will communicate and how you can embody it throughout every aspect of the production itself – not just the finished product.
- If this is a recurring video assignment, take a new approach. It's easy to get stuck in a rut. Think hard about how you can turn the production on its head.
- Don't necessarily produce what your client/boss/company thinks they want. Take risks to present them with a final project that they couldn't have envisioned on their own.
- Depending on your circumstances, get buy-in from your client along the way! Neistat is a well-known videographer and has the clout to turn in a final product like the one above. If you're going to take risks, it might be much better for your career to make sure that your client is onboard from the start.

Maeryn Welcome, and huge hugs right now! I spent long periods of time away from my now DH when we were dating and he still lived in Germany. I know how hard that is to say goodbye, in fact we don't say it ever anymore. We say "see ya later." It was hard enough for me to be apart from him for months at a time, so my heart goes out to support you right now. How are you doing?
Wtf is this dip in my chart? it can't possibly be O this early! that would give me a 22 day cycle (if unsuccessful) which is completely unheard of for me. then again last month FF told me i had an 8 day lp apart from my usual 12.


text: On Foreign Entanglements, Matt and Zack discuss new evidence that Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, who died in 2004, may have been poisoned. Why would Israel have assassinated Arafat at the same time it was preparing to withdraw from Gaza? And how might the renewed debate over Arafat's death affect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict going forward? Matt brings up the recent talks on Iran's nuclear program in Moscow, where Zack is skeptical that any progress was made. Should the US have intervened directly to support Iran's Green Movement in 2009? Finally, they discuss what Mitt Romney has to gain by traveling to Israel during an election year.

Nope i can't get the result.
I understand now.
You know how you have one ball appearing to be closer than another? If they were in 3D and you were to stand above them, you would see an angle - that is kind of what I mean. But you don't need to be precise about it, just good enough to fool the eye.
Yes it can't hurt trying but i don't think i understood what is with f.
It actually looks fine on first viewing.
OK it seems that it isn't working. Aplyed everything corect but it looks like before. I gues the ideea is not good. and i'm out of other ideea so i think it wil remain this way
I don't understand the second part, but for the first that point is on a circle to. The only thing wich modyfies is the angle and r.
I am glad it is so easy, I was wondering how to position the connection point on the face of the circle like this:
__ / . \ | | \ __ /
And then how to draw the 2D ellipse that would result from the projection of the circle where the tube joins the sphere ... and then how to clip that ... aaaarrhggg.
And once you got tired of that, you could start playing with it!
@ mathsyperson
I could watch that animation for ages! Save that version, just in case you improve it too much
First, I'm renaming A as (p,q). 2 sets of x and y get confusing.
Hello guys, this looks like a great community.

If you know Woyzeck and know what Hollywood/California is like, then you shouldn't have a problem understanding what's going on, as long as you put the leg work in (and it is pretty tiring), I managed to latch onto one of the main plots pretty soon and, from that point on, it's just a matter of putting the jigsaw together. This is also a dance show remember, you need to appreciate dance and there's more of it than usual, not just the contemporary work but a number of more choreographed pieces.
Some hints coming up but I'll put them behind spoilers so, if you want to be surprised, DO NOT LOOK.
Oh, and there were a number of audience members who didn't seem to have a clue what they were seeing, at the very least you'd think that they'd have found out what promenade means..... I fear that, for a while in the first booking period, you are going to get a number of trendy metropolitans who go because they think they should and who don't actually have much interest or inclination towards immersivity, dance and so on and; given it's 2007 since their last big show then they haven't yet had the chance to find that out. That's a price for success, you attract the ones who go because it's cool/trendy, whatever the current modish term is! To tell the truth, I hope they get put off. Do not go! I can say that because I don't have to worry about commerciality.
I go to a lot of immersive work; dreamthinkspeak, in comparison, charge a lot for much less (in fact I much preferred their 360 degree Hamlet 'The Rest is SIlence' to their promenade shows), Shunt produce unfinished and unexplored work, Wildworks are wildly variable (one year the Passion, next Babel.....), You Me Bum Bum Train and Look Left Right provide brillliant one on one experiences without any wider theatrical context. The Punchdrunk style gap has been filled.

And No Need To Ask Anyone For Directions
The next generation may never know the comedy of this stereotype: The wife pleading with her husband to please just stop and ask directions, while he refuses and drives on aimlessly with one eye on a tattered map and the other on a sinking gas gauge. That's because navigation systems that were once only offered in airplanes and luxury vehicles have matured into a pretty darn accurate technology within the reach of just about everyone.
We thought it was about time for us to revisit Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, do a bit of explaining regarding the technology, and review the industry features and options in both built-in and portable nav systems for your 4x4. We also reviewed a serious GPS system for extreme off-pavement use, the Lowrance HDS-5 Baja. (See "Chartplotter" on page 67.)
There are quite a few variations of GPS receivers, each for a specific type of use. One of the earliest types was meant for hiking. Essentially a high-tech compass with a memory, these GPS receivers gave you compass readings. You could set a bearing and determine if you were staying on that bearing, and correct your direction as needed. You could save waypoints. These would be important markers along the trail, and could also be used to set your start and finish locations. These types of GPS receivers are still available, and are subdivided into general on-land use, freshwater maps for inland boating, and salt-water maps for coastal boating.
Unlike one made for hiking or boating, an in-dash or portable car navigation unit will have road-map data. In addition to showing you where you are, you can type in a destination, choose from a pre-loaded list of Points of Interest (POI), and the system will guide you to your desired destination. Depending on the model, it will also tell you most of the data that GPS receiver designed for hiking or boating will.
How It Works
First, it's helpful to understand how your navigation system knows where you are. A nav unit is a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver; it receives information from satellites. There are 27 GPS satellites orbiting the earth in patterns that supposedly ensure that four are always "visible" by GPS receivers. This system was originally developed by the U.S. military, but is open for anyone to access now. By comparing distance information from at least three satellites, your nav unit can determine where you are on the Earth. It then compares that information with map data that has been loaded, and figures out where you are on the map. It can also determine your altitude, speed, and direction.
When GPS receivers first became available to consumers, they were large compared to today's models and not extremely accurate. Very detailed and accurate map data didn't exist for every mile of the modern world, either. As with most technology, size has decreased and accuracy has increased greatly over the past 20 years. Many nav units have multiple GPS receivers built in for faster accumulation of data, and they make use of the advances in computer power to make routing and rerouting calculations much faster.
When you enter a destination or search for a POI, the navigation unit searches a database that has been loaded into the unit. Then it uses GPS info to determine where you are, access map data also saved in memory, and calculates a route to take you from your current position to your destination. In nearly all of the navigation units, you can select your preferences for a route, such as the shortest, toll roads to avoid, and so on. Some of the newest models have real-time traffic updates for the major U.S. metropolitan areas, and can reroute you if there are significant traffic delays.

Candlelight Ball
11 June 2005
On a balmy summer evening, 80 staff, friends and partners made their way to the Thistle Hotel in Cardiff for the second SCAN Ball. The men looked dapper in their suits and the ladies looked lovely in their dresses and strappy shoes! Guests mingled over a welcome drink before making their way through to the candlelit ballroom for dinner. Before the meal began, Louise Casella, Chair of the SCAN committee, welcomed everyone to the Ball and got the guests warmed up with game of 'heads and tackle' (in honour of the Tenovus 'Check your Tackle' Male Cancer Awareness Campaign!)
Guests enjoyed a superb three course meal, followed by a moving speech by Helen Rees, a Tenvous nurse. She gave everyone a valuable insight into her work and helped to remind guests of the reason why they were there - to have fun and to raise money for a very worthy cause at the same time! Guests then generously put their hands in their pockets for the raffle, where some superb prizes were won, including a night's accommodation in the 4* Park Plaza Hotel, a £150 luggage set and tickets and vouchers for local pubs, clubs and restaurants. After a final game of 'heads and tackle' there was a whisky roll, where the men proved to be far too heavy handed whilst rolling their pound coins towards a whisky 'jack', before everyone hit the dancefloor until the early hours!
A good time was had by all and the SCAN committee is very grateful to the generosity of the guests on the night and to the prizes provided by local businesses.
The night raised just over £1400 for Tenovus and we hope that next year's Ball will be even bigger and better.

WeChat Incompatibility
Hello all.
I just purchased an ASUS Transformer TF700T and so far it is pretty cool. However, I live in China and will be heading back after the holidays and I want to download and use WeChat but it says that WeChat is incompatible with my device. WeChat is by the same people who created QQ and is a social media sight that a ton (millions) of people use in China. This is a cool way to stay connected with friends all over the world and I want to know if anyone has a workaround as I thought that since this is an Android device that I could use it on my TF700T.
Thanks for the help.

Re: WeChat Incompatibility
You will first have to download an apk. file for WeChat. You can search various places to do that by a web search for "download WeChat apk".
Once you have downloaded the apk. file for WeChat, you now have to sideload it to the Infinity. This is done by
1. Going to settings, security, and click to allow the installation of apps from unknown sources.
2. Open File Manager and search for the WeChat .apk file you just downloaded. The apk. file that I was interested in was downloaded to my external flash when I did this. Click on WeChat .apk when you find it. This will install the flash player on your Infinity.
3. Go back to settings, security, and click to disallow the installation of apps from unknown sources. You do not want your Infinity to continue to allow apps from unknown sources.
4. Your Infinity now has WeChat installed and you will be able to use that app.
Hope this helps.

Naperville police are looking for two men suspected of being involved in a fight that injured a third man early Saturday morning on the Riverwalk.
A man was sitting underneath the pedestrian bridge near the Riverwalk Eatery shortly after midnight when the pair approached him and tried to take the hat from his head, police said.

Police said one of the suspects was described as black, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, with a medium build and a cloth tied around his head.
The other is light-skinned, black or possibly Hispanic, also about 5 feet 11 inches tall with a medium build, wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
